I found two methods, put a breakpoint in both, and pressed Cmd-D in a Workspace. Another way would be to bring up halos on a Workspace. The frontmost Morph is a TextMorphForEditView. Exploring it in the browser, and then working through it's instance variables, you could get to the same place. These are my two main tools to start figuring out how things work: the Finder and the halos (bringing them up on a menu item can be very useful).

Hmm, no: the configuration still loads a fixed, older version of PostgresV2 (PostgresV2-YanniChiu.25 instead of PostgresV2-SvenVanCaekenberghe.27 or 26). Sven

Re: [Pharo-users] add.

Easy enough to fix: [ string := 2000 factorial asString. WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [ Transcript show: string ] ] forkAt: 40. You can't avoid that some large number is printed at some point. And that probably takes a while.

hello. your suggestion [ WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [ ... ] ] forkAt: 40. solves the problem of Transcript turning red, but now I can't suspend or terminate this process (>20000 factorial<, say) again, because the user interface seems to freeze while waiting for the result (or the Transcript output, more precisely). -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/process-priority-tp4092574p4094886.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] add.

The transcript is not intended to be written to from outside of the GUI thread. You can fix your code by writing: [ WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [ Transcript show: 2000 factorial ] ] forkAt: 40. Now the Transcript could possibly do that itself in case it is called outside of the UI thread ...

add.

by t olschewski

I've found a shorter method to reproduce a red Transcript window with two dancing lines in yellow on my system: I start a fresh (1.3-13315) image, open workspace and Transcript, then p := [Transcript show: xxx factorial] forkAt: 40. (don't try this yourself) where xxx is a 2 followed by 4 zeroes. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/process-priority-tp4092574p4093274.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

process priority

by t olschewski

I've some more questions: 1. is there a way to run "do-it"s and other user activity at a priority of 40, say, by default ? I know I can say "p := [ ... lenghty ...] forkAt: 40" and "p terminate" anytime in order to prevent user interface from freezing. 2. are my "forkAt:" processes supposed to appear in the Process Browser and if yes: where do I find them ? 3. If I open a workspace and a Transcript in a new (1.3-13315) image and run: p := [ 1 to: 10 do: [ :n | Transcript show: n; cr; cr; show: n factorial; cr; cr ]] forkAt: 40. then everything works fine. If I replace 10 by 1000 (don't do this yourself) then sometimes after a while the Transcript window turns red with two yellow lines and a debug window pops up with varying errors (mostly "subscript out of bounds"). Then again, in some cases it runs with no error. I have seen this in squeak 4.2, too. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/process-priority-tp4092574p4092574.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
